Excerpt from the below link:
Notice, if you will, Revelation 6:1-2 and notice what it says. It says, “Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, ‘Come.’” Now you’ll notice that there is a reference here to these seven seals, it’s part of this seven sealed scroll which is gradually being opened. To open it each seal has to be broken so that the scroll can be progressively unrolled and is it’s being unrolled the title deed to the earth, which has been under Satan’s domain since the fall in Eden, it’s being reclaimed.
And you’ll notice also in verse 1 it says, “Then I saw when the Lamb,” now who would “the Lamb” be? Jesus Christ! “…when the Lamb broke one of the” seals. Keep in mind that back in chapter 5, verse 7, as we have studied, it says, “He” that’s Jesus, “came and took the Book” that’s the scroll, “out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.” So it’s very clear here that Jesus is in heaven opening these seals which are bringing forth God’s judgments to the earth.
You say well why is that important? Because there are an awful lot of voices out there and they’re growing in volume level as time progresses and with the ability that they have on social media and Facebook and You tube, they are arguing vociferously that really the first part of the tribulation period isn’t God’s wrath at all. I mean, it’s bad but it’s really not that bad. And they will tell you that these judgments are really the result of the devil or the antichrist or human beings, and they really don’t believe these judgments are orchestrated by God; and after all, the word “wrath” doesn’t even appear here early on in chapter 6, so therefore the church is probably going to be around for the first half of these judgments because they are not coming from God Himself, they’re coming from Satan. Some call this midtribulationalism, we’re going to be here for three and a half years when this starts. Others are moving into what’s called prewrath rapturism there at the bottom of the screen, we’re going to be here for three-quarters of the tribulation roughly.
And the logic of their belief is yes, the church has been promised an exemption from divine wrath but you know, here in chapter six early on this isn’t God’s wrath; I mean it’s bad but it’s not that bad. And that’s why just some reading comprehension ability sets us straight on this. What does it say? Then I saw when… who? Satan broke one of the seals. It doesn’t say that, does it. “Then I saw when antichrist broke one of the seals.” It doesn’t say that! It says, “Then when I saw” what? “the Lamb” broke one of the seven seals. It’s very, very clear that Jesus is the One who is qualified to open the seven sealed scroll. He has retained that seven sealed scroll, chapter 5, verse 7, and He exactly is the One that is opening the scroll which is bringing all of these horrific judgments to the earth.
